Erik Chuss will remain chairman of the Forks Township board of supervisors, however, John O'Neil has been named the board's new vice chairman.

Previously, Dan Martyak was named board vice chairman during 2012.

O'Neil's appointment was unanimous, however, Supervisor David Billings voted against Chuss being appointed again as chairman during Monday's reorganization meeting, Chuss said. Chuss said Billings did not provide a reason.

Bob Egolf was once again appointed secretary/treasurer of the board.

"I do humbly and sincerely appreciate the support from the board for the chairmanship," Chuss said Tuesday. "The feedback we have received over the past year regarding the direction of the township has been extremely positive."

He then added, "Hopefully we will continue, on behalf of all the residents and businesses, to continue to move in a positive direction and address the many challenges facing the township in a fair and open manner."
